Most projects in Dekalb fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right container choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room on your driveway.

A matte-black 10-yard roll-off dumpster sitting directly on a residential Dekalb concrete driveway, mid-day sunlight, clean and ready for a garage cleanout.

10-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 15 ft long, 8 ft wide, roughly 3.5 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 3 pickup truck loads, 2,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: a single car length, easy placement on tight lots

The 10-yard bin handles small projects across Dekalb: garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, or attic clear-outs. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your surface, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits most household debris loads.

A 10-yard roll-off is for jobs with high density: the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or C&D debris fills a container before the volume looks full; this works for a single-story roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in Dekalb.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Dekalb home directly on the asphalt driveway, with framing materials and torn-off shingles staged neatly nearby.

20-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 7 ft wide, roughly 4.5 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 6 pickup truck loads, 4,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: two car lengths, still comfortable on most residential drives

A 20-yard dumpster is a good fit for several projects in the Dekalb metro: whole-house decluttering, flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. This container has a 22-foot length; it features a 4,000-pound rating for mixed shingles and framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles mid-size projects like whole-house clean-outs and roof tear-offs in one trip. One swap out keeps a week-long remodel running on schedule. Need it fast? We offer Same-Day Delivery. Call (779) 246-4697.

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Dekalb residential addition jobsite, with framing lumber and drywall scraps loaded through the open swinging rear doors.

30-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 7 ft wide, roughly 6 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 9 pickup truck loads, 6,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: two car lengths plus extra height — confirm overhead clearance

The 30-yard dumpster handles large estate cleanouts and home additions in Dekalb: the taller sides provide volume for framing crews. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week projects involving mixed construction debris on site.

The 30-yard roll-off handles large home additions, full-kitchen or full-bath remodels, and weeklong Dekalb job site debris.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Dekalb commercial construction lot, with a hooklift delivery truck parked alongside under bright midday sky.

40-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 8 ft wide, roughly 8 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 12 pickup truck loads, 8,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: too tall for residential driveways, ideal for commercial sites and large lots.

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition across the Dekalb metro: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris without the need to haul a second container.

The 40-yard roll-off handles large commercial projects and new construction: our crews often pair it with a smaller yard-debris bin when the site clearing runs in parallel with the main build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil require a reinforced lowboy: these materials hit the weight cap long before they fill the bin, unlike projects requiring roofing tear-off square sizing. We drop these low-walled containers—rated for 10,000 pounds—in Dekalb following EPA construction and demolition material management standards for your site.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the ground: this protects the surface of your driveway. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a standard residential roll-off container.

Choosing the Right Roll-off Size for Your Project

Which size fits your project? Choosing the right roll-off depends on three factors: volume, weight, and placement. Most Dekalb residents use a 10-yard or 20-yard container; a 30-yard works for remodels; only large demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers to handle the load.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Dense materials like concrete hit the Tonnage limit of a container quickly; lighter C&D debris fills the box volume first. Follow this rule: choose the size based on the specific limit you expect.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives: a 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard is for a commercial lot. Send a photo to our dispatcher to confirm your placement.
